Nobody wants to trek halfway across a caravan park when nature calls. With four amenities areas located around Austin Tourist Park, nowhere in the park is more than approximately 50 metres from an amenities block.

Our main amenities area includes separate men's and ladies' toilets and showers, as well as a family bathroom and our laundry. Around the park you'll also find additional men's and ladies' amenities and a small ensuite-style block with four individual bathrooms. Some facilities may not always be open, depending on park operations and works underway.

If you've got particular accessibility or bathroom requirements, have a chat with us before you arrive so we can help identify the most suitable accommodation or site location for you.

Camp Kitchen & BBQs

Sometimes dinner needs to be an event.
Other times it needs to be sausages on the BBQ and done.

Our camp kitchen gives caravan and camping guests a handy place to prepare a meal without having to unpack half the van. You'll find a fridge, freezer and microwave, along with an assortment of crockery and cutlery and two picnic tables for sitting down together. The camp kitchen is also home to one of the park's three BBQs, with two more BBQs located elsewhere around Austin.

So whether you're cooking breakfast before heading out for the day or finishing an adventure with a relaxed BBQ dinner, there are options around the park.

Road trips have a remarkable ability to generate washing.  Our guest laundry has three washing machines and two gas dryers, along with an iron, ironing board and nearby clotheslines.

The gas dryers are worth knowing about too...they heat quickly and can get the washing dry faster, which is rather useful when you don't want tomorrow's adventure to involve waiting for socks.

Laundry powder is available from the office if you've run out or forgotten to pack it. And the laundry is accessible 24 hours a day. Because sometimes you're staying with us for a week and doing the sensible holiday washing. And sometimes you're a parent dealing with a spectacular mess at 2am. We've got you.

After a day exploring Tamworth — or instead of exploring Tamworth — there's always the pool.

Our fenced outdoor swimming pool has seating and some shade around the pool area, plus a separate children's wading pool for our smaller swimmers.

There are also pool games available for a little extra fun.

There's no rigid “everybody out, the pool is closed” time. Guests can enjoy the pool when it suits, provided everyone is considerate of the people staying and living around them.

So yes, an evening swim is perfectly fine.

And if you decide to skinny dip at midnight, just try not to wake the residents. What happens on holidays stays on holidays!

Sometimes adventures happen without leaving Austin.

Our playground gives younger guests somewhere to climb, play and make new friends, while our pedal carts have a habit of becoming popular with considerably more than one age group.

There's also open space around the park to enjoy between adventures.

Our Village Green is developing into a gathering and events space and is already used for some of the activities and special events we hold throughout the year.

Keep an eye on what's happening while you're staying. You never quite know what might be going on at Austin.

Every one of our powered caravan and camping sites has access to power, water and sullage, making it easy to settle in and get your setup sorted.

A small number of sites also have concrete slabs.

Site sizes and layouts vary, so if you've got a larger rig, a particular setup or something specific you need from your site, tell us when you're booking.

Knowing what you're travelling in helps us find the best fit.

Let's talk about Wi-Fi. Because we'd rather tell you how it actually is. We currently have two areas within Austin Tourist Park where we're confident of a good Wi-Fi signal.

Beyond those areas, reception varies depending on where you're staying in the park. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes technology apparently has other ideas.

If reliable Wi-Fi is particularly important during your stay, tell us when you're booking. We can explain where our strongest coverage is and help you choose accordingly where availability allows. And yes — improving connectivity around the park remains on our list.

Travelling electric? Austin Tourist Park has two operational EV charging points, so you can recharge your electric vehicle while you're staying with us.

Ask our team about using the chargers when you arrive, or let us know you're travelling with an EV when you book. One less thing to organise while you're on the road.

There are a few facilities nobody gets particularly excited about until they need them. We have those too. There's an onsite dump point for caravan and motorhome travellers, and LPG Swap'n'Go is available when the gas bottle is getting suspiciously light.

You'll also find clotheslines around the laundry area, BBQs around the park and our team in the office when you need some local information, directions or help working something out.

Practical? Absolutely. But practical makes travelling easier.

No two travellers need exactly the same thing.

Rather than making broad promises about accessibility that may not suit your individual circumstances, we'd prefer to have a conversation. If you have mobility, accessibility or other specific requirements, contact our team before booking.

Tell us what you need — access, bathroom facilities, parking, distances, site location or something else — and we'll give you honest information about what's available so you can decide whether Austin will work for you. If we can help, we will.

We reckon travelling and caring for the places we live and visit can go hand in hand. Around Austin, we separate waste through our four-bin system, helping divert recycling and eligible containers from general waste.

Used guest soaps don't simply head for landfill either. Through Soap Aid, they can be collected and recycled into new soap, supporting better hygiene while reducing waste.

We also find new homes for useful things wherever we can. Glass jars, sauce bottles, clothing and other items left behind can be passed through local community connections rather than simply being thrown away. They're not enormous gestures. They're lots of little ones. And over time, little things add up.
